Not only that Lilly makes both drugs (Prozac and Zyprexa), they also sponsored this small sample study, and at least one of the main clinical investigators is in Lilly's payrol (Tollefson). However, IMHO, Lilly's interest with this combination may be waning since generic Prozac (Barr Labs) is soon to be released.
You may have also encountered in recent psychiatric literature revealing the result of a study which indicates that patients on Zyprexa who received 150 mg and 300 mg of nizatidine (Axid) daily, a H2-blocker, gained significantly less weight gain than those who received placebo. The weight gain was lower and was observed to plateau more quickly with the higher doses of Axid. Guess which drug company sponsored this study and incidentally, also makes both drugs (Axid and Zyprexa)?
> Sorry for my scepticism, you sound convincing, but aren't both these drugs made by Ely Lilly?
